1 MEMO/06/397 Brussels, 24 October 2006 Alcohol-related harm in Europe Key data Alcohol-related harm in the EU: 55 million adults are estimated to drink at harmful levels in the EU (more than 40g of alcohol i.e. 4 drinks a day for men and over 20g i.e. 2 drinks a day by women). Drinking more than this is known to carry a health risk. 1 Harmful alcohol consumption is estimated to be responsible for approximately deaths a year in the EU 2, due to e.g. accidents, liver disease, cancers etc. Harmful alcohol use is the 3 rd biggest cause of early death and illness in the EU, behind tobacco and high blood pressure 3. More than 1 in 4 traffic accident deaths on EU roads is caused by drinkdriving (approximately per year). More than 1 out of every 4 deaths among young men (aged years) in the EU is due to alcohol (often caused by road traffic accidents, homicide, violence etc) and 1 in every 10 deaths among young women 4 : 1 Source: Global Burden of Disease Project (Rehm et al 2004) adopted for the report Alcohol in Europe, Anderson P, Baumberg B, Institute of Alcohol Studies, UK June Source: Adapted from WHO s Global Burden of Disease study (Rehm et al 2004), Alcohol in Europe Anderson P, Baumberg B, Institute of Alcohol Studies, UK June Top 9 risk factors for ill-health in the EU, Adapted from WHO s Global Burden of Disease study (Rehm et al 2004 Alcohol in Europe Anderson P, Baumberg B, Institute of Alcohol Studies, UK June The share of deaths attributable to alcohol in the EU citizens younger that age 70 years (year 2000).

Severe diseases, such as liver cirrhosis are growing at an alarming rate and strike younger people than in the past. For instance, in England there has been a 10-fold increase among women aged dying from this disease over the last 30 years 6. Death rates from liver cirrhosis at all ages per 100,000.

3 Death rates from liver cirrhosis at all ages per 100,000, 2003, selected EU- 10 Member States, male and female combined 8 : EE LV SK SI LT HU CZ Liver cirrhosis is caused by long-term excessive drinking by individuals, regardless of their drinking patterns. The above graphs demonstrate that such harm is very significant all across Member states. Exposure to alcohol during pregnancy can impair babies brain development. In France more than 700 children were born with Foetal Alcohol Syndrome in 2001, and more than 60, 000 people are estimated to be living with this condition 9 8 WHO s Global Burden of Disease study (Rehm et al 2004) 9 (INSERM 2001). 3
4 Alcohol consumption: The EU is the heaviest drinking region of the world 10. Total alcohol consumption in the EU amounts to an average of 11 litres of pure alcohol drunk per adult each year 11. (11 litres = 1,400 small beers per person per year) Total alcohol consumption per drinker in Europe in The levels reached in the 1970s were even higher (15 litres per adult per year). This decline can be explained by a decline in wine consumption in France and southern Europe in recent decades, partly due to less alcohol being consumed during the working day. However, this decline is accompanied by a rise in harmful drinking patterns among some 15% of those who do consume alcohol 13, such as binge drinking (5 or more drinks on an occasion) and under-age drinking. 10 Source: WHO, World drink trends 11 Alcohol in Europe Anderson P, Baumberg B, Institute of Alcohol Studies, UK June Recorded = legal domestic sales.

5 Binge drinking in the adult population: 14 Binge drinking has become more widespread throughout Europe, especially in the 10 new EU Member States. For instance, in a 2003 World Health Organisation survey, over 38% of male drinkers in Poland and 30% of male drinkers in Hungary described themselves as weekly binge drinkers. This compares to 24% in the UK and 8.5% in Spain. Concerning under-age drinking, according to the WHO Health Behaviour in School Aged Children study from 2003, 5% of 11-year olds across the EU, 12% of 13-year olds and 29% of 15-year olds report weekly drinking. The average age of the first time youngsters describe getting drunk is 13.6 years for boys and 13.9 years for girls. 23% of year old boys in the EU reported binge-drinking at least 3 times in the previous 30 days in 2003, according to the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and other Drugs (ESPAD). 14 Eurobarometer Health, Food and Alcohol and Safety, 2003: 5
6 Alcohol-related harm and the Economy: The cost of alcohol-related harm to the EU s economy has been estimated at 125 billion for 2003, equivalent to 1.3% of GDP. This estimate includes, amongst others losses due to underperformance at work, work absenteeism, and premature death. 15 The actual spending on alcohol-related problems in the EU is estimated at about 66 billion e.g. on crime, traffic accidents, health, and disease treatment and prevention. 16 The tangible cost of alcohol-related harm by component, 2003: Report on Alcohol in Europe (Anderson and Baumberg), June An Ex Ante Assessment of the Economic Impacts of EU Alcohol Policies, (Rand Corporation), July Report on Alcohol in Europe (Anderson and Baumberg), June
